Step into the Illawarra Lowlands Grassy Woodland — a uniquely rich, threatened ecosystem — and spend time learning, sensing, and creating with this living community. This workshop invites you to slow down and explore the woodland’s layered structure through guided creative activities, ecological storytelling, and sensory engagement. Build meaningful connections with place through creative practices. Consider how we might become active stewards, supporting the conservation and regeneration of this important Illawarra ecosystem. This workshop weaves together ecology, creativity, and care. You don’t need art experience, just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to be with the landscape in its own time.
